Residential Life W SENIOR LIFE 2006, old station OnfireJune 30, located atthe 990 Lassen Lane in El Dorado Hills was dedicated as a home away from home for senior citizens to gather for fun, social events, and a myriad of activities including great lunches served five days a week in the Garden Cafe by the county’s Senior Nutrition Program. Acquiring this much-needed facility didn’t happen over night. It took the senior community years of planning, advocating, and working in cooperation with El Dorado County, the El Dorado Hills Community Services District and the El Dorado Hills Fire Department to make this dream come true. After extensive renovations, the 40 year-old fire station is now a beautiful place to socialize and recreate. Yet another important component in providing outstanding services for seniors is a Senior Day Care Program, with an estimated opening date in late spring 2007. Now the new challenge is to plan for the future. Because of the ever-growing population, it is already obvious that the current senior center is not large enough to meet the needs of seniors in the future. The good news is there is already a group of visionary seniors working to find ways to meet that need. – Moni Gilmore hen El Dorado Hills was initially planned in the 1960s as a residential community, developers brought in the concept of individually designed villages. The vision has endured over the years as commercial services and support systems have been brought in as necessary, making this an ideal community for families to call home. The beautiful landscapes and the natural slopes have given rise to some of the country’s most renowned residential areas with spacious homes, reliable builders and well-planned parks and playgrounds. The elevated villages in Serrano and some outlying areas of the Promontory overlook spectacular sunsets on Folsom Lake, while other communities, such as Highland Hills village, are known for excellent views of the Sierra on clear days. Common to all villages are well-kept streets, safe neighborhoods and highly rated schools for the children. Local academies and sports associations offer enriching art, dance and theater programs, as well as an active outdoor life. Preparing Our Youth sk any resident or neighbor why he or she moved to El Dorado Hills and one of the first answers you’ll receive is “for the schools.” Our community boasts three school districts, two private schools and a community college. Little is more important than preparing our kids for a bright and healthy future, and parents agree that El Dorado Hills has the schools to do just that. Just check out greatschools.net, an online resource for researching every aspect of your children’s education (K12). The section devoted to El Dorado Hills schools and community is (no surprise) impressive with five public schools on the first page alone that have ratings of 9 and 10 (the highest ratings). Let’s hear a rah-rah! A Page 12 • 2007 El Dorado Hills Chamber of Commerce Member Directory • www.eldoradohillschamber.org http://www.eldoradohillschamber.org
